[00:00.00]Desert Song - Alice Smith
[00:15.95]The time has come
[00:19.34]For me to start packing in
[00:23.08]I'm folding the shores of my life
[00:26.92]Into valises
[00:30.46]I can't stand
[00:34.15]This desert heat no more
[00:36.57]I'm going away
[00:44.04]I'm going away
[00:51.86]I waited too long
[00:55.69]To catch your signal
[00:58.93]I counted the numbers the letters the days
[01:06.71]Something tells me you're
[01:10.19]You're not coming
[01:12.89]I've got to go away
[01:20.05]I'm going away
[01:27.14]Now I'm writing you a letter
[01:29.98]And I'm making it long
[01:33.93]Now I'm breathing and I'm bleeding
[01:37.68]And the pages are torn
[01:41.01]Now I'm writing you to tell you
[01:44.48]I may go missing and lost
[01:48.56]The sand covers my face
[01:55.85]The sand covers my face (covers my face)
[02:02.73]The sand covers my face (covers my face)
[02:12.38](covers my face)
[02:22.06]My mama said
[02:25.74]"Life is for living
[02:28.93]If you ain't happy honey
[02:32.89]Go out and reinvent yourself"
[02:36.24]The desert is good
[02:40.15]The desert is dark
[02:43.10]I've got to go away
[02:49.86]Said I'm going away
[02:56.77]Now I'm writing you a letter
[03:00.17]And I'm making it long
[03:03.94]Now I'm breathing and I'm bleeding
[03:07.60]And the pages are torn
[03:10.55]Yeah I'm writing you to tell you
[03:14.42]I may go missing and lost
[03:18.21]The sand covers my face
[03:26.16]The sand covers my face (covers my face)
[03:32.87]The sand covers my face (covers my face)
[03:39.89]The sand
